Israel's housing minister said Tuesday that bids would go out soon to build 1,100 apartments in east Jerusalem, a move sure to anger Palestinians, who claim the city's eastern sector as capital of a future state, AP reported Housing Minister Zeev Boim told Israel Radio that bids would go out soon to build 350 apartments in the Har Homa neighborhood and an additional 750 in Pisgat Zeev. The announcement two months ago that Israel would build more apartments in Har Homa soured peace talks with the Palestinians even before they began.
